Beat the Streak leader spooky93 extended his season-high streak to 46 games Tuesday thanks to Ichiro Suzuki, who hit a leadoff single en route to a 2-for-4 night against the Blue Jays.

spooky93 — who’s picked Ichiro more times (10) than any other player — enters Wednesday’s action a mere four games shy of setting the all-time Beat the Streak mark and just 11 short of the $1,000,000 grand prize.

The four other contestants in the Top 5 all kept pace with the leader. tooley.3, who also picked Ichiro, extended his streak to 26 games, while dalmeetz048 and mday1018 stayed alive with Bronx Bombers Johnny Damon (2-for-5) and Derek Jeter (DNP). Fifth-place contestant slumley was rewarded for showing faith in Major League hit leader Cristian Guzman (2-for-5).

Contestants showed enormous faith in slugger Alex Rodriguez by making him yesterday’s most picked player. Rodriguez, who went into the game with a .429 lifetime average against Kevin Millwood, couldn’t manage a hit in four trips to the dish.

actually I am watching the game and it wasn’t a “cheap hit”….I think there is something seriously wrong with you guy….even if Spooky doesn’t get it the chance of you doing it is slim to none so quit being such a downer!!!

btsplayer, u r such an idiot. first of all it was natural grass. it was a great piece of hitting going the other way and it was a hard hit ball. even if the third baseman and shortstop were shading the whole, they still wouldnt have reached it. lay of the spookman and let him do work. i think u r jealous and u should be happy for him. who cares if he gets one hit, the whole point of the game is to keep a streak of getting a hit, if u r so into getting multi hit games, invent a competition for that.

btsplayer it looks like you are getting picked on here. Why don’t you start a free MLBlog of your own and then blog about memories of the Kingdome’s artificial turf. Then leave comments with your URL on the community blog below and everyone will find you. Taunt them all!

Who would everyone here pick for a hit today if you had a 46-game streak going?

Do you guys think that the players are aware of this contest? If a player was going up to bat knowing that someone is depending on him to get a hit to win $1,000,000, you’d think that would add some extra pressure.

As far as Spooks age, I would guess that the 93 is in reference to his graduation from high school. 1993. Which would make him more than eligible. Why do so many people look for reasons to bring him down?

“but would someone who was that young be that smart to be keeping a streak this long? I doubt it.”

That was a very ignorant comment. First, you don’t need to have an IQ of 250 to win this competition (no offence to spooky93, I respect spooky93). Second, if spooky93 was born in 1993, he/she would be 15 now. 15-year-olds are pretty smart.

LAST YR, PRKID DID IT. I THINK HE WENT TO 46 OR 44. HE REALLY WAS A KID, I RECALL. WHAT HAPPEN TO HIM OR MKARATZIA THIS YR?

WELL, IF ANYONE IS GONNA SHUT SUZUKI DOWN, IT HAS TO BE MCGOWAN. HE THROWS VERY HARD. IF HE PITCHES LIKE HE DID LAST TIME AGAINST SEATTLE, THERE MIGHT BE A CHANCE HERE. LET’S HOPE THE NEW GLASSES REALLY HELPS, ALTHOUGH IT DIDN’T IN HIS LAST OUTING.

I’m having ambivalent feelings here. On one hand I’m happy for the Spookster but on the other if he wins the contest is over and nobody else will have a chance to win the money. I will admit I’m enjoying the intrigue and displays of jealousy and envy.

Hey NewYorkMetsFan39, I’m 16 and I know a hell of a lot more than you about baseball so ****. According to you, i guess no 15 year old knows anything about baseball, and you have to be 18 to have knowledge about picking a decent hitter in the mlb.******** idiot, tell me why im wrong.

I’m not saying it’s a huge factor lol. I’m surprised with the way you and that other guy are reacting to what I said. Didn’t think it was gonna blow up like that. I’m saying the probability that a 15 year old wins is not as likely. Yeah I bet a 20 year old has a better chance because more 20 year olds are playing this game. You can’t tell me you think the person to get to 57 first will be 15.
